Until the administrative centralization of 1966, it was composed of four semi-autonomous communities: Vechigen, Sinneringen with Boll and Dentenberg, Utzigen with Lindental, and Berg with Littewil and Radelfingen.

Each quarter was responsible for local administration, including schooling and road construction, while the municipality handled taxation and finance.

On the hillside above the Worblen, several Hallstatt graves were discovered, and a Roman villa was found at Hubel.

In 1729, Hans Rudolf von Diesbach built his country estate, the Schlössli, in Sinneringen.

In 1844, the artist August von Bonstetten expanded the manor house and added a clock tower.

Boll developed from shops and inns located at the intersection of the Bern-Krauchthal and Worb-Zollikofen roads.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, nearby rivers were redirected, and local swamps were drained, opening up new land around Boll for housing and farming.

Despite 19th-century road construction and the completion of the Worblentalbahn rail station at Utzigen-Boll in 1913, Boll remained a small village.

Beginning in the 14th century, it was owned by several Bernese patrician families and was administered from Utzigen Castle.

The Dachselhofer family, who owned the estate in 1798, lost their rights to hold the low court over the herrschaft but retained the castle and other property.

The remaining land includes 2.12 km2 (0.82 sq mi), or 8.5%, that is settled with buildings or roads, and 0.06 km2 (15 acres), or 0.2%, that is covered by rivers or lakes.

It consists of the villages of Vechigen, Sinneringen, and Boll in the valley; Utzigen on the mountain slopes; and a number of scattered hamlets and farmhouses, including Lindental, Littewil, Radelfingen, and Dentenberg.

The historical population is shown in the following chart:[3][16] The entire hamlet of Lindental is designated as part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.

The tertiary sector had 511 jobs, distributed as follows: 85 (16.6%) in wholesale or retail sales or the repair of motor vehicles, 11 (2.2%) in the movement and storage of goods, 36 (7.0%) in hotels or restaurants, 6 (1.2%) in the information industry, 43 (8.4%) as technical professionals or scientists, 74 (14.5%) in education, and 190 (37.2%) in health care.

[13] From the 2000 census, 476 residents, or 10.3% of the population, were Roman Catholic, while 3,446 people, or 74.7%, belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church.

Additionally, 306 people (about 6.63%) had no religious affiliation, identified as agnostic or atheist, and 143 individuals (about 3.10%) did not answer the question.

This is followed by three years of compulsory lower secondary school, where students are grouped according to their ability and aptitude.

After completing lower secondary school, students may either pursue further education or enter an apprenticeship.

Among the kindergarten students, 4.8% were permanent or temporary residents of Switzerland (non-citizens), and 3.2% had a mother tongue different from the language of instruction.

The primary level consisted of 16 classes with 296 students, of whom 6.1% were permanent or temporary residents of Switzerland (non-citizens).

At the lower secondary level, there were eight classes with a total of 124 students, 7.3% of whom were permanent or temporary residents of Switzerland (non-citizens), and 2.4% had a mother tongue different from the classroom language.
